Do you think they actually know what a rat is...?

Q: Compare the dental formulae of humans and rats. What are the implications for the diets of both species?

A: Only 2 carnivores per jaw on a rat and a diastema gab without teeth and 2 molars per side of a jaw. This suggests that rats have a limited diet (preferably meat) while human have a wide range of diets.
